MaNIS is open to participation by institutions dedicated
to providing access to high-quality mammal specimen information. Though
there is no formal data accreditation mechanism, there is a registration
process managed through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility
(GBIF), during which a
prospective data provider will be assessed for suitability to be included
in the MaNIS network.
